Abstract

Independence serves as a fundamental ethical pillar of the auditing profession, ensuring the credibility of financial statements and maintaining public trust. However, in practice, auditors frequently encounter professional, structural, and emotional pressures that challenge their commitment. This study aims to interpret the meaning of auditor independence, both internal and external, through the lens of Islamic values. Employing a transcendental phenomenological approach within an interpretive paradigm, data were obtained through in-depth interviews with four auditors representing various institutions, including two Public Accounting Firms, the Audit Board of Indonesia, and internal audit units within higher education institutions. The findings indicates that independence is perceived not merely as compliance with technical standards but as a form of self-restraint, trustworthiness (amanah), and spiritual awareness. Islamic values such as honesty, steadfastness (getteng), and accountability before God serves as moral safeguards against temptation and conflicts of interest. The study underscores that the meaning of independence is multidimensional, which are ethical, spiritual, and contextual, and highlights the need for a holistic approach to reinforcing professional ethics in auditing. These insights provides important implications for developing value-based auditor education curricula and institutional policies aimed at fostering sustainable professional integrity.

Abstract

Taxes are the main source of state revenue which plays an important role in financing development and the provision of public services. However, the level of compliance of taxpayers, especially Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), is still a challenge in the tax system in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the influence of tax paying awareness, tax sanctions, and tax knowledge on the compliance of MSME taxpayers with morals as a moderation variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The research population is MSME taxpayers registered at KPP Pratama Bulukumba. Sampling was carried out using non-probability sampling techniques. Data were collected through a questionnaire on a Likert scale and analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA).The results of the study show that tax paying awareness, tax sanctions, and tax knowledge have a positive effect on taxpayer compliance. In addition, morals have been proven to strengthen the influence of tax payment awareness on taxpayer compliance, but do not moderate the influence of tax sanctions and tax knowledge on compliance. These findings suggest that moral factors play a selective role in shaping tax compliance, particularly when interacting with awareness-based internal factors. Theoretically, this study expands the application of the Theory of Planned Behavior by integrating moral values (morals) as a moderation variable in the context of taxation. Practically, the results of this study imply that efforts to improve tax compliance not only need to emphasize the enforcement of sanctions and increase tax knowledge, but also the strengthening of taxpayers' awareness and moral values to encourage voluntary and sustainable compliance.

Abstract

Tax is the main source of state revenue that plays a crucial role in supporting national development; however, individual taxpayer compliance remains a challenge in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the effect of understanding tax regulations, quality of fiscal services, and tax law enforcement on taxpayer compliance behavior, with taxpayer awareness as a moderating variable. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of individual taxpayers registered at the Tax Counseling and Consultation Office (KP2KP) Pinrang, with 102 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results indicate that understanding tax regulations, quality of fiscal services, and tax law enforcement have a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance behavior. Furthermore, taxpayer awareness is proven to strengthen the influence of these variables on taxpayer compliance. These findings suggest that improving tax compliance requires not only effective regulations and law enforcement but also increased taxpayer awareness. This study contributes to the literature on tax compliance behavior and provides practical implications for policymakers in designing strategies to enhance sustainable taxpayer compliance.

Abstract

Tax avoidance remains a critical issue for companies, including state-owned enterprises (SOEs), as taxes are perceived as a burden that reduces profitability. This study aims to examine the effect of capital intensity and accounting conservatism on tax avoidance, as well as to analyze the moderating role of company size in SOEs listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2022 period. Using a quantitative approach, this study analyzes secondary data obtained from audited annual financial statements, with 48 firm-year observations selected through purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) were employed to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that capital intensity has a negative and significant effect on tax avoidance, while accounting conservatism does not have a significant effect. Furthermore, company size significantly moderates the relationship between capital intensity and tax avoidance as well as between accounting conservatism and tax avoidance. These findings highlight the importance of asset structure and firm scale in shaping tax avoidance behavior and imply the need for stronger oversight and improved transparency in corporate tax management.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of money ethics and machiavellianism on tax compliance, with religiosity as a moderating variable, among individual taxpayers at the Makassar Selatan Primary Tax Office. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected through questionnaires and analyzed with multiple linear regression and Moderating Regression Analysis (MRA). The results indicate that money ethics and machiavellianism have a negative effect on tax compliance, while religiosity does not moderate the relationship. The novelty of this study lies in integrating psychological aspects of money ethics and machiavellianism, which have rarely been examined together, thereby offering a new perspective on understanding individual tax compliance behavior in Indonesia.
